"What's going on here?"

Chun Ning went to meet him and wiped the sweat off his face with her handkerchief: "If you have anything to say, just send someone back to let me know. You are running in such a hurry, be careful not to catch a cold."

In late autumn, the wind brings chill.

Su Ziyu was just a weak scholar. He sweated from running and was easily sick when blown by the cold wind.

As he spoke, Chun Ning told Lan Qiao to make a pot of ginger tea to ward off the cold, and asked Lan Qiao to get some dry underwear to change into.

Su Ziyu took a deep breath, grabbed her fingers and said, "My dear wife, please stop worrying. I came back because I finally have good news!"

He knew that although Chun Ning didn't show it on his face, he was worried in his heart these days and couldn't even sleep well at night.

With the good news, of course he had to be the first one to tell her!

Su Ziyu couldn't hide the truth, and Chun Ning discovered this time that his whole body was emitting a sense of excitement.

"What good news is worth your special trip?"

Chun Ning looked at him with amusement and asked, "Cousin, is she pregnant?"

Su Ziyu waved her hands and denied repeatedly: "No, no, it's the imperial sister who is coming back!"

"Sister Royal?"

Chun Ning was surprised and delighted, and almost jumped up: "Really?!"

"Uh-huh!"

Su Ziyu said eagerly, "The prince sent a letter back, they have already returned to the capital from Yumen Pass!"

Due to poor communication, they could only send someone to deliver the letter back to Beijing by express horse.

"Great!"

Chun Ning counted the days on his fingers and said, "I just received a letter, which means they had already set out more than ten days ago. I don't know where they are now, whether they have been delayed, and whether they will make it in time..."

Hearing her series of worries, Su Ziyu quickly stopped her: "Don't let your imagination run wild. You will definitely catch up!"

Chun Ning sighed: "These days I have realized that I didn't think enough before, so now I know nothing. There are many things that even my mother didn't tell me."

Her disappointment was obvious, and Su Ziyu hurriedly hugged her: "Who said that? Didn't the royal sister tell you everything?"

He led her to sit on the couch and whispered softly, "Don't worry, okay? When the prince comes back and lifts the siege of the capital, you won't have to worry about anything."

Chun Ning nodded: "Since you are back, why not have lunch before going back?"

Su Ziyu shook his head: "I have to leave quickly, there are not enough people in the hospital."

Faced with a powerful enemy, every government office was extremely busy, and the Hanlin Academy was no exception.

He made this trip specifically to tell Chunning the good news.

Chun Ning was touched and reminded him, "Change your underwear before going, be careful on the road, and don't run anymore."

Su Ziyu smiled, waved at her, and walked out.

He has a handsome appearance, and even after getting married, he still has a youthful look when he smiles, and his smile is clean and warm.

Chun Ning sat back and thought about the news Su Ziyu brought.

It’s great that my sister and brother-in-law are coming back.

So many things happened in just a few months since we last met, it feels like half a lifetime has passed.

My mother is recruiting female soldiers, and I cannot fall behind.

However, Chun Ning knew her own strengths and weaknesses. Not to mention her proficiency in archery and horse riding and her high martial arts skills, relatively speaking, only her accuracy with the bow and arrow was good.

After thinking for a while, she told Lan Qiao: "Send someone to the Weiwei Temple and bring back ten crossbows and arrows for me."

Lan Qiao was a little surprised, but since His Highness had given the order, she knelt down and agreed.

The crossbow is a special weapon provided to the army and has great lethality.

The production process is complicated, the quantity is small, and it is banned for civilian use.

But since Chun Ning sent people to take it openly, and it was only the cross, there was naturally no problem.

On the second day, the Weiwei Temple sent a special person to deliver it, and a heroic female general followed.

In a sense, Chun Ning is also an acquaintance.

"General Wanqi!"

Chun Ning happily walked up to her and greeted her: "How come you have time to come?"

Wanqi Lou clasped his hands together and said, "I was at the weapons administration, and when I heard that Your Highness wanted to use it, I took the initiative to accept the task."

For the sake of the overall situation, she was given a bad reputation for no reason.

Qin Yaoguang revealed this to Chun Ning before leaving, and told her that if anyone in the capital made things difficult for Wanqi Tower, she should let Chun Ning take charge of the matter.

There have been many ups and downs in the past few months, and Chun Ning had never heard any news about her. He didn't expect to see her today.

Wanqi Lou is related to the imperial sister, and Chun Ning is very happy.

"Your Highness, can you use a crossbow?"

Wanqi Lou asked, "I can show you a few things."

"Well, I'm worried."

Chun Ning only knew that he had a good aim, but he couldn't pull the bow, so he thought of the crossbow as a new way, but he had never used it.

The officials of Weiwei Temple sent people to escort her, thinking that she might need someone to teach her.

Princess Chunning's mansion is not as spacious as the eldest princess's mansion, but it is sufficient.

Since there was no special training ground, she found an open space in the outer courtyard and ordered people to make a few simple archery targets out of hay.

Crossbow arrows are shorter than ordinary bow arrows, and are thicker and heavier.

The tip of the arrow is made of sharp black iron, shining darkly in the sunlight. It is a deadly weapon with strong penetrating power.

Chun Ning weighed it in his hand a few times and felt it was heavy.

Wanqi Lou taught her step by step how to pull the trigger to release the bowstring, load the arrow, and how to raise the crossbow and aim at the target.

"Your Highness, please give it a try."

Seeing Wanqi Lou holding the crossbow easily with a relaxed and casual posture, Chun Ning jumped forward and stretched out her hands towards her.

"Your Highness, be careful. It's a bit heavy."

Chun Ning nodded repeatedly, indicating that she was ready.

Wanqi Lou grabbed the crossbow with one hand and gently placed it in her hand. He didn't let go until she got used to the weight, then he took a step back.

Good weight!

Chun Ning's hands sank down due to the weight of the crossbow, and he quickly steady himself.

There was a huge gap between what she thought was prepared and how prepared she actually was.

Why is Wanqi Tower so relaxed?

Chun Ning quietly stuck out his tongue.

Only after she got used to the weight in her hands did Wanqi Lou teach her how to keep her overall balance and let her whole body share the weight of the crossbow, not just her arms.

"Your Highness, the crossbow you are using now is much lighter than before. If you are not used to it, I will find some hidden arrows for you."

The sleeve arrow is light and more suitable for women to use.

However, its lethality and range are far inferior to those of a crossbow and arrow, and it can only be used as a hidden weapon.

Chun Ning shook his head.

If she wants to make herself useful, she can't always choose easy things.

"General Wanqi, I wonder if you have time to teach me?"

Wanqi Lou was slightly stunned.

She really didn't expect that Princess Chunning would make her suffer so much.

But she was happy to do so.

In order to make things difficult for Qin Yaoguang, Xie Shu promoted her twice.

The consequence was that although she held a high official position, she was actually in an awkward and delicate position.

Due to intentional or unintentional exclusion, Wanqi Lou had no real power.

In other words, I'm so bored that I'm getting lice.
